Abstract
Distintas investigaciones han asociado la inseguridad en el apego a problemas de salud
mental reflejados en el desarrollo de síntomas psicopatológicos. El presente estudio
explora la relación entre los estilos y dimensiones de apego adulto propuestos por
Bartholomew y Horowitz (1991) y la presencia de sintomatología psicopatológica de
tipo internalizante (depresión, ansiedad, somatización) y externalizante
(comportamiento agresivo y transgresor). En el estudio participaron 164 estudiantes de
una universidad pública de Cusco con edades entre 18 y 25 años (M = 20.51, DE =
2.07), quienes fueron evaluados mediante el Relationship Questionnaire (RQ;
Bartholomew y Horowitz, 1991) y el Adult Self Report (ASR; Achenbach & Rescorla,
2003). Se hallaron relaciones significativas directas entre los estilos de apego
preocupado y temeroso y la presencia de sintomatología internalizante y externalizante.
De otro lado, se encontró que la dimensión ansiedad correlacionó positivamente con
sintomatología internalizante y externalizante; mientras que la dimensión evitación
correlacionó únicamente con la presencia de síntomas ansiosos. Los índices de
correlación concuerdan, en su mayoría, con lo hallado en investigaciones previas.
Studies have associated insecure attachment to mental health problems reflected in the development of psychopathological symptoms. The present study explores the relationship between adult attachment styles and dimensions proposed by Bartholomew and Horowitz (1991) and the presence of internalizing (depression, anxiety, somatization) and externalizing (aggressive and transgressive behavior) psychopathological symptoms. This study included 164 students from a public university in Cusco aged between 18 and 25 years (M = 20.51, SD = 2.07), who were evaluated with the Relationship Questionnaire (RQ, Bartholomew and Horowitz, 1991), and the Adult Self Report (ASR, Achenbach & Rescorla, 2003). Significant direct relationships were found between the preoccupied and fearful attachment styles and the presence of internalizing and externalizing symptomatology. On the other hand, it was found that the anxiety dimension correlated positively with internalizing and externalizing symptomatology; while the avoidance dimension correlated only with the presence of anxious symptoms. The correlation indexes agree, in their majority, with what was found in previous investigations.
